Impacts of Channel Curvature on Drag, Mixing, and Stratification in Estuaries
Estuaries often have sinuous planforms, and channel curvature can lead to distinct flow processes in bends, e.g., secondary circulation and flow separation. An integrated approach combining field observations, idealized modeling, and realistic modeling is used to understand how curvature-induced flo...
